I’m a versatile creative director with a proven track record of building and inspiring teams, collaborating for excellence, and making clients happy with measurable results. I hold creative and my teams to the highest standards, and forge strong relationships with colleagues and clients alike.
I have a copy background but oversee both copy and design, and manage both writers and designers. My superpowers include leading creative that sells through at the outset, creative strategy, concepting and ideation, and branding. I am a big-picture thinker who knows how to get the best ideas and execution out of my teams, and I'm never afraid to roll up my sleeves to help evolve the work whenever needed.
Outside of work, I'm a screenwriter and established indie rock musician. My feature film script, Holy Man, was optioned in March 2021, and is currently ranked in the Top 3% on industry website Coverfly. My other scripts are all in the Top 3–6% and have placed in several notable industry contests. My music enjoys regular airplay on SiriusXM and other well known podcasts and FM radio stations around the world.
Other interests include exploring the California coast and woods, Los Angeles, Japanese artwork, sharks, Bigfoot, The Office, movies, and '80s and '90 rock.
